just got these yesterday from the store. wasnt planning on getting new fish but had to get them. they JUST arrived from shipping and were still in the bags. can you guys identify the strain?? i think its either a leopard snakeskin or penang eruption. theyre in quarantine right now before i put them in a 200 planted =)

Wow nice.
They kind of look like the leopard snakskins at my lfs. Too bad they charge $150 a piece.
 
ouch $150!!! you wouldnt believe me if i told you how much i got them for.. $35 ea. and theyre close to 4"s.

1. Nice pickup, especially the price
2. You probably saved their life. Don't know how good that particular LFS is with discus but discus don't do well when left in my LFS
3. Someone is getting fire at that store.. see #1.

GL with them. You have a nice a group there to work with.
 
thanks guys. they are still stressed out in quarantine. ph is around 6.8, temp at 80. their fins are clamped and stomachs are a little flat. i put deworm tablet in the water to kill any internal parasites from breeder or during shipping. 1 fin is clamped and they breather a litle hard. other than that, they eat, no cloudy eye, white spots, or fungus. are they still acclimating to the new tank and water?
